Few pastimes are as popular as gambling, which is why the first thing most people see upon exiting the womb is a crowd of people clutching tickets and chanting "Boy! Boy! Boy!" Enjoy a day of wagers in style with today’s Groupon: for $7, you get round-trip passage on any Hampton Luxury Liner motorcoach to the Resorts Casino in Atlantic City and a $10 food voucher (a $15 total value). Also included in the price of your ticket is $5 worth of slot play.

Leaving multiple times a day seven days a week from Long Island and Manhattan, each luxury motorcoach in the Hampton fleet takes passengers on a pleasant journey to America’s Playground and back again. During the ride south, you can recline your leather seat—each equipped with a personal electric outlet—and use the free WiFi to do a quick search of “count cards.” Once you've armed yourself with the insider knowledge that there are 52 cards in a deck, celebrate your surefire get-rich-quick scheme with a treat from the snack bar. Otherwise, simply plug into the headphone jack and lose yourself in the en route movie, viewable from five flat-screen televisions, or borrow some reading material from the rear-galley library.

Once in Atlantic City, passengers unload at the Resorts Casino, a 100,000-square-foot gaming paradise packed with more than 2,500 slot machines and a plethora of table games. Your Hampton Luxury Liner ticket also comes with $5 in slot cash, which can be put toward one-armed bandits of the low-stakes variety as well as the ultra-high stakes models, which include a special oversize slot for first-born sons. If your slot machine coughs out nothing but rusty washers, woo Lady Luck or her handsome brother, Fella Fortune, with a meal at any of Resorts's restaurants, including Gallagher’s Steak House, The Buffet, or the Zagat-rated Capriccio.
